Dear Family,

Today my class started the Measurement chapter. I will be learning to

estimate and measure capacity and mass. I will also be learning how to tell
time and how to find time intervals. Here are my vocabulary words that I will be
using during my lessons.
Love,
p.s. Look on the back of this letter to find some quick practice tips that we can
do together in the car, along with an activity and books for us to read at home.
